EXPLANATION. 



The figures on the right, indicate year in which articles 
were made. 

The name preceding a date shows such person was once 
owner or maker of the article. 

Many figures are founded on memory or tradition, but in 
the main the Exhibit will be found to be fairly correct. 

In compiling this, the tendency has been to lean to the 
conservative side.
